Mami Kawada "Dawn/Dusk/Longing/Dear"
Long ago, there used be ghosts in the dark, goblins in the mountains and monsters in the ocean.
Today those stories have been almost forgotten, however the world is still full of undiscovered wonders.

Today we encounter new form of art and expression, produced by young artists. They themselves may be extremely pure and innocent, or perhaps it is that they pursue purity. Is this a contrary motion of today’s society? Is this a self-protection of their soul? Either way, it’s always exciting to encounter something new. Naive Art started June 1999, and this is the 21st Project Exhibition of the series.

It’s an incredible multiplication inspired by imagination.
Creating something from nothing, or creating something made of integrants of “myself” off “myself”. When the words “creating” and “new form of life is born” are used, what it really means is that I create something very new which looks like “me”, and then develop such “new life” by giving it what I have, as well as giving it things that I lack.

Just like you could easily spot people at a rendezvous, I want to find “that girl” too. Enjoy your special time spotting “that girl”.
